The MkI midget was initially fitted with a 948cc A-series engine, which was replaced in 1962 with the newer 1098 engine. It featured quarter elliptic rear spring suspension and drum brakes all round, which were then also upgraded in 1962 much like the engine. In 1964 the MkII Midget was released which saw much improved handling as a result of new half elliptic suspension, it was also fitted with new doors featuring external handles and even wind up windows!

1966 saw the release of the MkIII Midget, which featured several substantial upgrades with the addition of the Cooper S derived 1275cc engine. Along with this Rostyle wheels were fitted and there were a variety of minor body changes including the addition of round wheel arches in 1972.

Offered here is a 1970 MkIII MG Midget, arguably this is the most desirable model and year in the MG Midget timeline. It features the classic styling of early Midgets with the square wheel arches and chrome bumpers. This was also combined with the speed of the 1275cc engine and it benefitted from the various handling improvements that had stemmed from the previous years of development.

The car is in excellent aesthetical and mechanical condition as a result of a detailed restoration undertaken by the previous owner in 1987. Since this restoration the car has seen little use, only being used in dry weather and being well cared for in between outings.

Since that original restoration the interior was again refurbished some time ago with new seat and headrest covers. The current owner has recently fit a new clutch to help insure that all future gear changes are nice and smooth.

This is an excellent example of an affordable, historic British sports car that is sure to provide no end of enjoyment and smiles.
